GREELEY, Colo. — Steiner’s new LRF 1700 is an 8×30 Porro prism range-finding binocular that precisely measure distances from 25 to 1,859 yards without refocusing.

The LRF 1700 binocular features Steiner’s Sports-Auto-Focus™, which allows users to focus each eyepiece once and remain sharply focused from 20 meters to infinity. This allows the binoculars to be used with one hand and eliminates the need to chase focus on moving targets.

GREELEY, Colo. — Steiner’s Military/Marine Series binoculars, based upon the proven M22 military binocular, are now available with a whole new look and two all new models.
